Now onto the corn-peas-tomato salad.
Serves 2 (on the side)
Ingredients:
Boiled Corn kernels – 1 cup
Boiled peas – 1/2 cup
Finely chopped onions – 1/2 cup
Finely chopped tomatoes – 1/2 cup
Minced garlic – 1/4 tsp (1-2 cloves)
Pepper powder – 1/2 tsp (I used white)
Lime juice – 1 tbsp (or to taste)
Salt – to taste
How I Made It:
1. Mix the salt, garlic and pepper with the lime juice.
2. Mix all the veggies well and add the above lime juice mixture 10 minutes before serving.
– I sometimes mix this with plain steamed rice and serve it as a rice dish. It looks colorful and is a welcome change from just plain rice.
– This salad is also good for making rolls with chapatis. To hold the salad together, you can add some light mayonnaise.

Nags,for lazy bums like me, it is inspiring to see someone who manages to churn out three dishes every day, after work!
The day I make dal, dry sabzi and a gravy dish, I keep beaming proudly at everyone around:D

I love salads! I love leaves. And I love thick, creamy dressings as much as I love light ones.
And I echo Lakshmi, guilty with one curry, one gravy and rice after work? Girl, you’ve got to get real and feel better about yourself ๐
